A big love affair that began in a little bookstore at 84 Charing Cross Road.
When a humorous script-reader in her New York apartment sees an ad in the Saturday Review of Literature for a bookstore in London that does mail order, she begins a very special correspondence and friendship with Frank Doel, the bookseller who works at Marks & Co., 84 Charing Cross Road.

84 Charing Cross Road is a lovely, refreshingly simple, and very funny movie. It includes excellent performances from Anne Bancroft and Anthony Hopkins, and great directing from David Hugh Jones. If you enjoyed the film as much as I did, I recommend reading the book it's based on. 10/10, my favorite film of all time.
